@checkervest Neat! I usually find them after they’re dead.

@fahrni I have an early fall tradition of picking up the ones who are dying and putting them in a calm quiet place so they can die in peace and not get eaten by ants!

@checkervest That’s extremely kind of you.

Something was rustling and bumbling around quietly behind my desk all day, I wonder if this is him

my brother just called me from his cicada-plagued office yelling because he'd never picked up a cicada to move it to safety and felt the scream vibrate through his whole hand before

@checkervest That is a lot to handle for a little package.

desk cicada update: he keeps falling off of things and when I pick him up he refuses to leave my hand

My darling this is not sustainable

we worked on flying and I was able to get him to fly off outside! not a whole lot safer but he'll definitely be happier out there

@checkervest It’s tough being a parent. At some point you just have to let them go.
